Hi Bob ...
I transmitted the newspaper clippings you sent on Earl to Hap Reese, the 457th Bomb Group web master. He in turn will send the Obituary clippings on to the Editor of the 457th Bomb Group Newsletter, Nancy Henrich. Then, one your clippings may appear in the next 457th BG Association Newsletter sent to all 457th Bomb Group Association, Incorporated members.
Additionally, at the 457th BG November Reunion in Florida a formal "Special Service reading will be held for all those 457th Bomb Group servicemen and servicewomen that expired" since the previous Reunion. This function is a sacred part of every Reunion.
Best regards to you and yours.
